UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D009642	Norfenfluramine	A FENFLURAMINE analog that inhibits serotonin uptake and may provoke release of serotonin. It is used as an appetite depressant and an experimental tool in animal studies.	Dexnorfenfluramine,Nordexfenfluramine
D010133	p-Chloroamphetamine	Chlorinated analog of AMPHETAMINE. Potent neurotoxin that causes release and eventually depletion of serotonin in the CNS. It is used as a research tool.	p-Chloramphetamine,para-Chloroamphetamine,LY-121860,Ly-123362,Parachloroamphetamine,LY 121860,LY121860,Ly 123362,Ly123362,p Chloramphetamine,p Chloroamphetamine,para Chloroamphetamine

D001921	Brain	The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.	Encephalon
D002262	Carboxy-Lyases	Enzymes that catalyze the addition of a carboxyl group to a compound (carboxylases) or the removal of a carboxyl group from a compound (decarboxylases). EC 4.1.1.	Carboxy-Lyase,Decarboxylase,Decarboxylases,Carboxy Lyase,Carboxy Lyases
D005277	Fenfluramine	A centrally active drug that apparently both blocks serotonin uptake and provokes transport-mediated serotonin release.	Fintepla,Fenfluramine Hydrochloride,Fenfluramine Hydrochloride, (+-)-Isomer,Fenfluramine Hydrochloride, R-Isomer,Fenfluramine, (+-)-Isomer,Fenfluramine, R-Isomer,Isomeride,Pondimin,Fenfluramine Hydrochloride, R Isomer,Fenfluramine, R Isomer,Hydrochloride, Fenfluramine
D006834	Hydrazines	Substituted derivatives of hydrazine (formula H2N-NH2).	Hydrazide
D006916	5-Hydroxytryptophan	The immediate precursor in the biosynthesis of SEROTONIN from tryptophan. It is used as an antiepileptic and antidepressant.	5-HTP,Hydroxytryptophan,Oxitriptan,Oxytryptophan,Tryptophan, 5-Hydroxy-,5 Hydroxytryptophan,5-Hydroxy- Tryptophan,Tryptophan, 5 Hydroxy
D000662	Amphetamines	Analogs or derivatives of AMPHETAMINE. Many are sympathomimetics and central nervous system stimulators causing excitation, vasopressin, bronchodilation, and to varying degrees, anorexia, analepsis, nasal decongestion, and some smooth muscle relaxation.
